The adrenal gland contains secretory neuroendocrine cells in its medullar region, which are named chromaffin cells due to their production of colored polymers of catecholamines after exposure to ...

Cells develop in different directions. In order to investigate the cellular origin of chromaffin cells and sympathetic neurons during embryonic development of the human adrenal glands, they ...

The adrenal medulla has numerous capillaries and venules or thin arteries and veins. Since these cells stain brown when exposed to chromium salts they are called chromaffin cells.

Catestatin, another fragment of chromogranin A, inhibits the release of catecholamines from sympathoadrenal chromaffin cells by blocking the neuronal nicotinic cholinergic receptor, which is the ...
